Highway 40 Blues - Ricky Scaggs
F#m B
Well these Highway 40 Blues
E
I've walked holes in both my shoes
F#m B
counted the days since I've been gone
E
and I'd love to see the lights of home
A B
Wasted time and money too
E B C#m
squandered youth in search of truth
F#
but in the end I had to lose
B
Lord above me paid my dues
E E D A D (slide up to) E
got the Highway 40 Blues
The highway called when I was young
told me lies of things to come
fame and fortune lies ahead
it's what the billboard light had said
Shattered dreams, my mind is numb
my money's gone, stick out my thumb
my eyes are filled with bitter tears
Lord I ain't be home in years
Got the Highway 40 Blues
Solos:
mandolin
banjo
guitar
steel
Ya know, I've rambled all around
like a rolling stone from town to town
met pretty girls I have to say
but none of them could make me stay
well, I've played the music halls and farm
had fancy clothes and big fine cars
things a country boy can't use
Dixie Land, I sure miss you
Got the Highway 40 Blues
Outro Steel to Outro chords: E D A D A D (slide) E
